    I did my last MSFS flight on 06JUL, took a couple weeks break and since 31JUL I've got a weird trim issue with the FlyByWire A320 development version. I was able to set trim to 1.0UP using the mousewheel, by grabbing the trim wheel with left click and the joystick buttons until 06JUL. Now, when I try to set trim, it reverts back to 0 every time. I can't properly set elevator trim anymore, neither by mouse, nor by joystick. This is the case in every phase of flight (takeoff, landing, etc). I've also noticed, the mouse wheel controls the trim wheel in the aircraft differently than it did before. Previously, when scrolling the mouse wheel back…

    Have tried both of the above settings in DX11 and DX12 (with the new Nvidia studio driver) and have hardly noticed any difference in FPS or smoothness. TAA looks better for picture quality though. What have your experiences been? Early days of SU10 testing for me but have not encountered any problems so far other than performance seems little (if any) better than before so far.

  5. Wow I am impressed, my old 1070 picked up 25% or more FPS when using DX12 instead of 11. I thought my old system and graphics card would not profit from the new driver. I would from my experience install the new Studio Driver, I did a clean install from the Experience App. I flew back to back tests in 2 different airports with the BN2 and both went from 22-23 FPS to 28-34. Bear in mind I am running 4 monitors using new Multi monitor Experimental settings, and one monitor using AirManager. And I use a Pop-Out for the G530. My system description is in my signature. I still use a 6 year old system built for X-plane. I am just amazed how well it stil…

  6. ...to use for takeoff, before you're selected what gate you will be at? I notice the arrival runway is always accurate, but haven't figured out a way to predict which runway will be for departure. I would like to know so I can choose a gate close to the departure runway. Thanks!

    I fly in and out of O'hare a lot. It seems that for me personally the performance tanks significantly with DD's City and DD's MDW. but it's also not stellar if I have both of DD's sceneries disabled. Anyone else struggling there? I am not sure if ORD isn't well optimized or what, but it's super choppy for me.

    I have had two post on this forum in the last 2/3 weeks, as when trying to load MSFS 2020 - I was getting either the 0x00000001 or 0x80004005 error code. In seeking a solution to fix this, I uninstalled MSFS 2020 with a view of reinstalling it. I simply could not reinstall - nothing was happening - so I sought help (twice) on here - and tried everything suggested both in this forum and also on videos I found on youtube. None of the suggested solutions worked, including those from MSFS support - so firstly a BIG shout out and THANK YOU to all of the community that endeavoured to help me resolve the issue. So what has happened? - well this morning I went to the Microso…

    Yeah I know its a cheat but occasionally I just jump in a plane and navigate via the VFR map or use it as a back up making sure I am where I am supposed to be. It looks a bit different since SU10 has some minor enhancements like mile scale. However now you can only zoom out to 200nm. I am pretty sure it was much more then that before like 500nm. I hope this is noticed and fixed back to how it was as far as zoom goes. I don't think it was a complex change!

    I have been running MSFS from day 1 and haven't had any real problems, my sim has run almost flawlessly having only small problems that were usually user related. After installing SU10 I went to delete my rolling cache which seemed to work but when rebuilding the cache the loading wheel in the bottom right corner was spinning and it never rebuilt, I even left it running all night but it was still spinning the following morning. anyone come across this before any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    After I made one flight with DX12 enabled I decided to revert to DX11. During this flight, in the latest version of Fenix' A320CEO, I experienced a very dark cockpit interior and instrument panels. I had set my anti-aliasing to Balanced DLSS and, as said, DX12 enabled. After this flight I switched back to DX11 and Balanced DLSS, dragged myself in the Fenix A320 cockpit again and was back to the brightness level I experienced pre-SU10. Everything was clear and visible again in the cockpit. Did any of you experience the same or have I overlooked something to run DX12 successfully and if so, what could it have been? Oh yes, almost forgot to mention, I am also running on the …

    I was hoping my biggest problem would be fixed by the new update, but sadly that has not been the case. I think I'm the only person who is having this, but my logbook doesn't update, meaning the list of recent arrival and departure airports never changes either. *Sigh* Oh well, I'll just have to keep plugging along the way I have been doing.

    Have looked around to see if others have the same issue but haven't found any topics. I loaded to PMDG 738 after updating to SU10. The aircraft will load but once I get into the flight deck, I'm unable to see and of the gauges (PFD, MFD, etc.) nor can I manipulate any of the switches, knobs, etc. BTW: PMDG 737 loads and runs fine. Thanks for any assistance. FoxTango

    Where are we at with all the updates and AI traffic now? The last I had was my AIG was crashing all the time, on SU10 beta. The controller program wouldn't even start up. Is Just Flight's traffic offering any closer to release? Unable to see much noise on the forums about it all.

    I have never had a previous problem updating MSFS but this time when I try to use a purchased airport as the departure, just the original MSFS default airport is loading. I have checked the Content Manager and it claims there are present, but it does not seem to load for some reason. Has anybody else experienced this strange phenomena ?

  16. Has anyone else experienced this and if so do you know of a solution?

    My usercfg seems to have prreferd3d12 rather than prreferdx12 in it. Have MS changed the term or do I have an error there? Would anyone mind checking their cfg file to see whether the x has changed to a 3 post su10. Many thanks.

    Looks like the G3000 will need an update as it comes up with blank screens after SU10's install.

  20. Hi, I have searched a lot but I cannot find one answer! At the MSFS 2020 itself, I create a Flight Plan where there are Departure Runway and Destination Runway and select Auto Pilot to follow the route. The question is :How I get the Destination Runway? If the whole Flight Plan is at the simulator to use the Nav mode, Simconnect should know that Information Thks Luis

    I think I may have stuffed up the update. I was about 30% the download and I stopped it to remove everything out of my community folder. I then went in and re-downloaded and updated. I then moved everything back into the folder. I tried a fly around Manhattan I some of the ocean has lines through it, cars a flying in the air. I then flew around Sydney ( I do have the Orbx scenery for this area) and while it was a little better I could still see cars passing under the harbour tunnel. Is there something I can reset or do?

  24. With the recent exponential growth of MD-82s flying on VATSIM, everyone is using a different livery in their sim but as AIGAIM only had installed two airlines that are still flying the MD80 (European Air Charter and Iran Air), I'm facing the fact of seeing just BUC and IRA liveries around me, despite their callsign are SAS, AZA, AAL, DAL, FIN and many more. Via the SimObjects folder of my AIG installation, I've found out AI Aardvark is the contributor of the MD-82 AI Model. AIA has got a nice list of many real world liveries for their AI Model over here: https://ai-aardvark.com/aiaircraft/repaints/md_8x/md_8x.html Can I just download a livery and install it…
